i watched Mawang while waiting for Maou. Honestly it was a beautiful drama and Maou does seems a tad mediocre and cartoonish in comparison. However Maou pleasantly surprises me. Its not predictable, the music is as haunting as mawang was, the cast is solid (but with some wanting) and mot of all Ohno as the lawyer. JJH as the lawyer in Mawang was beautiful but, my Arashi bias aside, Ohno performance as the devil is inexplicably more.. UMPH (lol. can't find the right words). Probably my one gripe about Maou to Mawang was the detective Toma vs Uhm Tae Woong. Toma was ok but UTW was breathtaking. There's also some character changes in Maou that made Ohno as the devil more prominent than Toma the detective. Mawang could feel a bit slower now you've watched Maou and I did wish it was 16 episodes instead of 20. However overall, the original wins, with exception of small and fabulous Ohno trumping the hunky Korean devil.
